krustyballer16 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 yeah, I'm incredibly curious as to how alike different MJs frames actually are, truck to truck. How much variation exists from the original fab processes. did any changes occur year to year. I saw some slight differences. Black Betty ('86) is missing some holes in the frame that my others, up to 01, have. I'm sure every frame is different. That's why the stiffeners out there don't fit well.

saveevryjp1998 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I love it that you made the first batch out of galvinized stock or at least my 3 sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 I love it that you made the first batch out of galvinized stock or at least my 3 sets. Theres 10 sets there. 3 for you and supposedly the other 7 are spoken for. Cheapest rust prevention option. At least theyll last as long as the truck...Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveevryjp1998 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Bad for you though since these will probably outlast the possibility of repeat orders in the rustbelt if your still making mj stuff in 10 years😄! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveevryjp1998 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I have the floor braces too by the way. There is a driver side drilled out in the back of that blue 88 swb you walked by it last time and we can drill out the spot welds on the rusty red rocket. It will be soo much fun!

krustyballer16 Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Yay! Deal! That'll probably have to wait a month or so. I need to cut em out of my junk xj too.

saveevryjp1998 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 While we are at it Ill start hunting one just to dissect without a title so you can repop everything! Ill buy it and drop it off so you can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveevryjp1998 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Your on your own for drilling out the spot welds on those cab corners. I will never do that headache again separating b-pillar from rocker and roof no thanks! The outer b's are here remember? The lower corners have been cut but sure would be fairly easy to make back whole for a complete repop if that is your aim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveevryjp1998 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 The white swb frame I gave you is an 86 by the way. If I can ever get to the other 1 up north its an 88 for comparison swb as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can ever get to the other 1 up north its an 88 for comparison swb as well. I have an 88,90 and my blue 91 sitting next to that frame. I'll have to see how it compares to the 86 long bed. But black Betty is an EARLY 86. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INjake89mj Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Brandon, I have a good set of factory rockers and cab corners if you need some to copy. I may be in your area in a few weeks, we'll have to work something out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very interested in what you come up with for rockers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 I know I can't do the very corner of the cab corner, the rounded part. But i can do the flat section just above thatAnd ya, rockers might be tricky. Maybe not. I'll have to see what the engineers at work say.

87MJTIM Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I purchased a driver's side rocker panel from Z&M Jeep a few years ago at the York Jeep show. I have not used it yet. I have held it up against the original. It looks about right. I can post a picture later. (However, if it matches the way a bed side panel I purchased previously did, I may have a nice piece of scrap metal.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krustyballer16 Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 These are copies of factory brackets. You can trim a piece of whatever to fit em. I may send a pattern of a factory one on paper with them just for people that don't have factory flaps Do you need OEM mud flaps to run with these brackets?
